The route

From Leicester (LE1, LE2, LE3) the natural line out is the M1 J21 and the A6, joining A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, then Millennium Way for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 110.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 25m off-peak becomes 3h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.

Where we meet you at The O2 Arena

Private hire pickup is next to Car Park 3 on Millennium Way, a short walk from Entrance A. Long-distance arrivals are timed to land 90 minutes before doors so there is room for a comfort stop on the way.

Address: Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, SE10 0DX.

Pickups across Leicester

Pickups cover the whole of Leicester and the LE1, LE2, LE3 districts across Leicestershire. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.

From Leicester the M1 J21, A6 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.

When to leave

Doors are usually an hour before the gig starts. Allowing 3h 10m for the drive from Leicester plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.

Getting back from The O2 Arena

Coming back to Leicester costs the same £185. The driver holds at the pickup point rather than circling, so you are away as soon as you reach the car.
